Are you for real?
Actually, he was interviewed by spanish media together with David
Villa...the interview was more focus on spanish team but it drifted
into Torres. David Villa mentioned that Torres has wanted to move
to Chelsea for some time but added that Liverpool has signed 2
great young players in Andy Carroll and Suarez (clever guy to be
honest, did not offend either his friend or Liverpool).
And the topic drifted into Van Der Sar's retirement.
He said "Yes, well Van der
Sar will hang up his gloves in the summer so of course they are
looking," Reina told Spanish radio station Ondo Sera. "I can't do
anything. I can't say anything logically as I have a contract with
Liverpool.
"Of course one likes to fight for titles and be in a team that does
that. We always fought to be in the Champions League and try to win
the title. But unfortunately it hasn't been the case in the last
couple of years."
The media took his word and twisted it a little bit and came out
with Reina wants to join ManU!!! Well, anything is possible though
after Torres move...But I don't think Liverpool will sell him to
ManU...remember Heinze??
I don't think they said Reina wants to join Man United, they just
said he "opened the door" to that option or leaving Liverpool for
CL football for that matter cos they asked him a simple question
about Vds retiring and would he be interested in the position
should United came in for him... And he never deny
it... Actually if we read his reply
carefully, he was evasive where he could simply said
"No" and everything wouldn't have as they say, 'legs'...
And you are quite right I don't think Pool would want to sell
him to United either but maybe Arsenal? Not quite sure how
many players are there who cross over directly, but I don't think
there are many to date...
The only difference here between Heinze and Reina is, while
United were able to deny Heinze, the player also was more
than happy not to insist and take a 'step up' to Real Madrid
instead.
Liverpool doesn't have that option at least not yet... And to
make matters worse, It is believed Reina has a buy out clause
on his contract put in last season... So anyone who meets
that sum, Pool can't stop him from leaving... Or joining anyone of
his choice I belief... Just like in the Torres case where Chelsea
met the 'buy out'. Cos I don't think they would have like to sell
to Chelsea too... But had no choice.
